Lawmakers get snarky on Twitter

Gov. Rick Scott’s State of the State speech Tuesday prompted some snarky tweets from lawmakers.

“The Florida State of the State address should have been titled ‘Time to make the donuts!’” wrote Rep. Alan Williams (@Alan4Florida), a Tallahassee Democrat, referring to the five minutes or so Scott spent reminiscing about his stint as a donut store owner.

“I find it reprehensible to see any members of the Florida Legislature—particularly some Democrat members not really known for brilliance, achievement or individuality—cackling in their seats while tweeting out cheap shots,” he wrote.

Lawmakers weren’t the only tweet targets during the governor’s speech.

At least two Tallahassee insiders took jabs at the 50 or so Occupy Tallahassee protesters who marched and chanted during the address.

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Shalimar (@mattgaetz) wrote, “with all the lovely flowers in the House chamber, I can barely smell the Occupy people outside.”
